The document discusses dairy information and services kiosks that have been implemented in rural India to empower dairy farmers. Key points: - The kiosks automate milk collection, increasing efficiency, transparency, and speed of payment for farmers. They also capture historical production data. - The kiosks provide farmers internet access to market information, best practices, government services, and a multimedia database of agricultural information. - Transforming automatic milk collection systems into networks with internet-enabled kiosks can help farmers improve productivity and access services. The kiosks demonstrate how IT can benefit rural communities when the systems are easy to use and provide tangible benefits.
